  1. 1 17. Steps 5.1 & 5.2 Monitor, evaluate & adapt Essential EAFM Date •Place Version 1

  2. Monitor how well management actions are meeting goals and objectives Understand what has to be monitored, why, when, how and by whom Evaluate monitoring information and report on performance Review and adapt the plan Session objectives After this session you will be able to: 2

  3. 5 .1 Monitor and evaluate performance ofmanagement actions 5.2 Adapt the plan 3

  5. Step 5 is a critical step in the management cycle • Regular monitoring and reviews of management actions are required to assess progress towards achieving objectives • Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) provides the critical information for adaptive management NOTE: DO NOT GET CONFUSED WITH “MONITORING” IN MCS (which means monitoring for compliance and enforcement, not the broader monitoring needed here) 5

  6. The sub-steps 5.1 M&E • Monitor: Collect data (focus on indicators) • Evaluate: Collate results of monitoring and evaluate management performance against benchmarks, and report 5.2 Review and adapt the EAFM plan • Review: Regular reviews of the plan • Adapt: Adapt the plan as required

  7. Monitor • Collect data for each indicator Avoid unfocussed data collection but do not ignore relevant information (e.g. fishermen observations, environmental change) • Monitoring continues throughout the life of the plan • Frequency of monitoring depends on the indicator • Some indicators will require monthly, some seasonal and some annual sampling 7

  8. Evaluate management performance Assess each indicator against its benchmark to measure the efficacy of each management action. Example: Objective: 50% increase mangrove habitat by 2020 Indicator: Hectare of mangroves Benchmark (baseline): 10,000 ha Benchmark (target): 20,000 ha Indicator after management action: 5,000 ha Performance: Mangroves have reduced by 5000 ha • Ineffective action!!! 8

  9. Evaluate performance contd. • Evaluate all indicators • Collate, analyze and describe the overall performance of management actions Assess other sources of information that confirm or refute the indicator evaluation e.g. cross-validate with stakeholder observations 9

  10. Communicating and reporting • The evaluation needs to be communicated • Different users will require different reporting styles - Brief and hard-hitting for policy makers - Simple and easy to understand for community stakeholders 10

  11. Traffic light system An example of a simple reporting system Red performance is well below benchmark Orange performance is close to benchmark Green performance is at or above benchmark 11

  12. Instrument panel Another example of a simple reporting system Bay of Bengal Ecosystem health 12

  13. 5.2 Review and adapt • The evaluation report provides the basis for the participatory review of the plan • Reviews - Short-term (annual evaluation) - Long-term (3-5 years evaluation) 13

  14. Short-term reviews • If the plan is working, celebrate!! • If not, establish why • Adapt plan: - Management actions - Compliance - Governance arrangements 14

  15. Longer-term reviews Carry out a comprehensive review every 3-5 years. May be necessary to: • Reconsider goals, objectives, indicators, etc. • May need to rethink the whole plan and management system • Often carried out by independent auditor 15

  16. Short-term reviews - Evaluate and adapt • Monitoring 1 YEAR • Management actions • Compliance arrangements • Governance arrangements Long-term reviews - Evaluate and adapt 3-5 YEAR • Reconsider goals, issues and linked • objectives, actions and indicators 16

  17. Key messages In Step 5: • Monitor, evaluate and adapt completes the EAFM cycle ready to enter the next cycle • Yearly review: are you meeting objectives? (if not, adapt the management actions and compliance arrangements) • 5-yearly review: are you meeting objectives and goals? (if not, may be necessary to also revisit issues and goals as well) 17

  18. EAFM QUIZ! 18

  19. Home work: preparing presentations for day 5 • EAFM plans • No PowerPoints • Use flipcharts, cards…..be creative! • Trainers need to see learning and applying EAFM concepts and tools • Everyone participates • Supportive environment – constructive feedback 19
